Introducing...Lucky Charming

After many months frantically searching for my burlesque alter ego, he's finally come out from hiding. As I suspected, he was right under my nose the whole time, sneaky little demon that he is. Turns out I was trying to conjure him in the completely wrong way. I was convinced that I wouldn't be able to describe who he was until I had his name figured out, but one moment while I was in the shower, I determined who he was an his name came to me in a flash.

I kept him a complete secret until I introduced him to my teacher and classmates yesterday, but now that that's over, I want you all to meet him. Here is the bio I composed for my homework assignment. He is, of course, still a work in progress, but I'm pretty pleased with what I've got so far.

I give you...Lucky Charming.

Lucky Charming can best be described as "the man in the mirror." He is that reflection of myself that only manages to show up when no one else is around, and always looks awesome. The guy with the sly grin, perfectly cocked eyebrow, and boy band finesse. 
As indicated by the leprechaun/princeliness of his name, Lucky is precisely two parts imp and one part knight in shining gay armor. Hey, there's no law that says the hunky hero has to be tall and heterosexual. 
But don't be fooled...he ain't all that innocent. That impishness I mentioned earlier comes with a splash of supervillain. They always have the greatest outfits. Lucky's style is a smooth hybrid of dapper and glam. Colored guyliner. Glittery suspenders. A fedora hiding a streak of neon-died hair underneath. And of course, eventually nothing at all.
'Why Lucky Charming?' some of you are probably asking. Well, because I wanted my persona to be an extension of myself, I wanted a name that was fairly similar to my own. 'Lucky' is a nickname that a couple people have tried on me that I always liked, but it never really stuck. I wanted a full name that was on the funny side, but still implied sexuality. Something that would allow me to be both impish and masculine. Cute and studly. Sexually eclectic, I guess you could say.

I'm really excited about Lucky, and looking forward to getting to know him better. I hope you are too!
